How do I use nightly builds of Scala 2.9 with maven?

Question

Recently I wanted to try some of the new features in Scala 2.9 in a small project. I would like to use maven for building it. How can I tell Maven to use the latest nightly build of Scala 2.9? If someone knows how to do this with sbt instead of maven, that would be good too.

You can try this repository:

http://www.scala-tools.org/repo-snapshots

with Scala version: 2.9.0-SNAPSHOT

Here is snippet for pom.xml:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>scala-tools.org</id>
        <name>Scala-Tools Maven2 Repository</name>
        <url>http://scala-tools.org/repo-snapshots</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

<pluginRepositories>
    <pluginRepository>
        <id>scala-tools.org</id>
        <name>Scala-Tools Maven2 Repository</name>
        <url>http://scala-tools.org/repo-snapshots</url>
    </pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>

and for sbt:

val scalaToolsSnapshots = "Scala Tools Snapshots" at "http://scala-tools.org/repo-snapshots/"
